Time stood still as she looked around
And wondered where she was
Her mind was blank, there was nothing there
No name, nor who she was

All around her the world moved on
The hustle and bustle of the city
The faces hard, the distant stare
Not one gave her a thought

Try as she might, nothing came to mind
Her thoughts encased on fog
Here and there the edges ragged
A glimpse so tantalising

Helen, my name is Helen
This thought in her mind took hold
Just when she believed that there was more
It was all gone again

Round she wandered, lost and scared
In this city she had lived life long
But by this cursed fate of old age
Her memory is mostly gone
